By contrast, in Australia, this type of car is much more common, and the 300C has been quite competitive compared with high-spec versions of the other large Australian domestic cars.

Honestly, I can only imagine that the SRT8 is going to be a bit of an orphan car in Singapore. It seems to have neither the luxury and quality, the badge or the price to get any real market share of any particular segment. At least the Quattroporte has the badge and the luxury to be worthwhile, even if price is higher and performance is similar.
The dealer mentioned about a 100 being sold, which isn't bad at all. I was kinda surprised at the acceptance rate of this car.

Well they said they will expect to sell less than 10 SRT-8s. But honestly, it has the power for the price - no car in its price range can match its power - but that's about all going for this car.
